Summary

  • Google Maps now offers users unprecedented skater and vehicle avatars, with the colours of the vehicle ranging from white, black, grey, red, blue, yellow, green or purple.
  • This is following an update that offers five new, more detailed car icons to those using the app.
  • This is Waze-inspired, as it offers a broad range of different vehicles.
  • It is a minor addition, but it allows users to have a more personalised experience when using the app and allows them to choose closer matches to their own vehicles.
  • This can be accessed by tapping the vehicle icon whilst navigating, or by tapping the journey bar underneath the map.
